GRUPA SPASITELJEVIH UCENIKA.... ŽIDOVSKO KRALJEVSTVO....

Kroz cijelo vrijeme Njegove patnje, na Zemlji nije bilo nikoga tako predanog Gospodu i Spasitelju, kao Njegova grupa ucenika, koji su Ga ljubili, i rado bi bili svu patnju držali daleko od Njega, da je to bilo u njihovoj moci… Toliki mnogi su se oko Njega okupljali, a ipak je samo manji krug bio tako prožet Njegovom Božanstvenošcu, da su u Njemu prepoznali Njihovog Ucitelja, Njihovog Božanskog Stvoritelja, i gdje je sve svjetlo od Njega naviralo u Njihova srca, uskoro je bila ugušena i najmanja sumnja.... U Božanskoj savršenosti Njegovog Bica, oni su uskoro vidjeli jedini cilj njihovog života.... U cistoci svojega srca, svaki je vrlo brzo shvatio da je Njega nasljedovati, uistinu bilo jedino što je važno na Zemlji… oni su prepoznali da nitko od njih ne bi mogao postici to savršenstvo, ako Sam Gospod ne bi puštao da na njih neprestano stiže Njegova milost, i nadalje su još prepoznali koliko je bilo važno medusobno služenje u Ljubavi za postizanje savršenstva… Njihovo nastojanje je sada bilo u tome da se, u najdubljoj poniznosti i unižavanju sebe, ucine dostojnima Božje milosti… oni su sve napuštali, odrekli su se svijeta i živjeli samo u Njegovom ucenju, koje im je Spasitelj prenosio, u svakodnevnim opcenjima (druženjima) s njima. Tako nijedno drugo zbivanje, osim stalnog boravka u Njegovoj blizini, nije postiglo da njihova srca budu ispunjena ogromnom Ljubavlju za Spasitelja… da se njihovo znanje o Božanskim mudrostima umnaža, što duže oni osjecaju (doživljavaju) i shvacaju njihovog Ucitelja… Oni su Ga prihvatili sa srcem, a Bog im je dao snagu i milost da mogu razumjeti sve što im je On nudio.... Jer, bez pomoci Gospoda, oni nikada ne bi bili sposobni snaci se u ovim mudrostima… bez Božanskog prosvjetljenja, nikada im ne bi jasno i zorno došla do svijesti velicina Gospoda… i stoga oni nikada ne bi prepoznali njihovog ucitelja kao Sina Božjeg, da njihov duh nije bio prosvijetljen Božanskim svjetlom. U cešcim duhovnim nevoljama im je Gospod dolazio u pomoc, kad god su se osjecali slabima… buduci je Gospod vidio jedino Ljubav, koja je Njegove ucenike Njemu ucinila vrijednima.... Kao rezultat toga, On nije napustio Njegove, i dao im je utjehu u svakom teškom trenutku, ali je takoder od njih tražio potpunu predanost, kada On više ne bude… kada On ode nazad Onome, Koji je Njegov Otac. Jer Zemlja je u to vrijeme nosila jedan silno važan narod… Bila je to loza (pleme, rod), koja je bila odredena za rasprostranjivanje kršcanskog ucenja, istinskog kršcanstva… bilo je to židovsko kraljevstvo.... Njegova želja da spasi ovaj narod iz duševne nevolje, nije pronašla odjeka kod njega… on Ga je ismijavao i izrugivao Mu se… on je bio prisutan u vrlo velikom broju, da ostvari propast Ovoga Božjeg Sina, i nije se više dao potaknuti na to, da prihvati vjeru u Njega kao Božjeg Poslanika.... On je u Njemu vidio neprijatelja svojih ucenja, on u Njemu nije vidio ništa više od iznimno nadarenog govornika, Koji je iskorištavao svoj dar govora, kako bi odmetnuo narod od ucenja otaca.... A, buduci da je on ostajao u grijehu i prljavštini, nije mu ni moglo doci prosvjetljenje duha… odbio je svu Ljubav Gospoda, i ovu nagradio porugama i krajnjim ciljem da Ga pokuša ubiti.... A Njegova blagost i dobrota im je oprostila. Sa andeoskim strpljenjem im je On korio njihove govore, jer se Njegovo srce okretalo svakome i nastojalo ga spasiti. Božje svemoc, medutim, dopušta ovim ljudima njihovu volju, tako da se ispuni Rijec… da je Gospod došao na svijet, kako bi otkupio covjecanstvo.

AMEN

The disciples of the Savior.... The Jewish kingdom....

In all his time of suffering, no-one on earth was as devoted to the Lord and Saviour as His disciples, who loved Him and would have liked to keep every suffering away from Him, if it was in their power.... As many as gathered around Him, only a small circle was so imbued with His divinity that they recognized in Him their Master, their Divine Creator, and where all light from Him flooded into their hearts, soon even the slightest doubt was choked.... In Divine perfection of their being they soon saw the only goal of their life....

In the purity of His heart, everyone soon realized that following Him was essentially the only important thing on earth.... they realized that none of them could reach this perfection unless the Lord Himself let His grace come upon them continuously, and furthermore they realized how important serving one another in love was for reaching perfection.... Their striving now was to make themselves worthy of the grace of God in deepest humility and self-abasement.... They left everything, they gave up the world and lived only in His teaching, which the Savior taught them in daily dealings with them. Thus, no other event than the constant dwelling in His proximity brought about that their hearts were filled with oversized love for the Savior.... that their knowledge of Divine wisdom increased the longer they experienced and recognized their Master....

They received with the heart, and God gave them the strength and grace to understand all that He offered them.... For never would they have been able to find their way in these wisdoms without the help of the Lord.... never would they have become aware of the greatness of the Lord without Divine enlightenment.... and never would they therefore have recognized their teacher as the Son of God if their spirit had not been enlightened by the Divine light. In frequent tribulation of the Spirit the Lord came to their aid whenever they felt weak.... because the Lord saw only the love that made His disciples worthy of Him.... As a result, He did not leave His own and gave them comfort in every difficult hour, but also demanded their full commitment when He was no longer.... when He returned to what is His Father.

Because the earth carried an enormously vital people at that time.... It was the tribe that was destined to spread Christian doctrine, true Christianity.... it was the Jewish kingdom.... His desire to save this people from the plight of the soul did not resonate with them.... they laughed and mocked Him.... they were represented in exceedingly strong numbers to bring about the downfall of this Son of God, and never let themselves be moved to accept faith in Him as the Messenger of God.... They saw in Him an enemy of their teachings, they saw in Him nothing more than an exceptionally gifted orator who took advantage of His gift of speech to make the people apostate from the teaching of the fathers....

And since they remained in sin and filth, they could not get the enlightening of the spirit.... they rejected any love of the Lord and repaid it with abuses and the final intention to seek His life.... And His mercy and kindness forgave them.... With angelic patience He directed their speeches to them, for His heart turned to each one and sought to save them. But the omnipotence of God left these people their will, so that the word.... that the Lord came into the world to redeem mankind.... would be fulfilled.

Amen.
